From the comments of the crosspost on the solarpunk community:

This reads like AI garbage

This is the actual source that the article uses for all its claims: https://bren.ucsb.edu/events/response-endangered-san-joaquin-kit-foxes-solar-farms

Not quite the same conclusions between the two…

    The San Joaquin kit fox has been struggling for decades.

    Ah yes, "struggling."

    I.e., polite-speak for "humans have been destroying its habitat, messing with its ability to survive, and making life miserable for it for a long time."

    Yeah, like with pretty much every endangered animal - we either hunted it down or took away their habitat

    That's exactly what the article is about.
    A large coal mine isn't compatible with wildlife, but solar farms, if planned correctly and with the right circumstances, can be.

    And that's a good thing
